Metallics TRS125ISS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2-13 x 5 inch threaded rod work for hanging electrical conduit or a small junction box off a deck?
Yes, for short drops. At 5 inches of overall length the TRS125ISS gives you a stub hanger, not a long drop, so it suits trapeze or strut hung conduit tight to the structure, anchor extensions, and beam clamp pickups. Budget thread engagement at both ends: a nut and washer top and bottom eats roughly an inch of the 5 inches. For drops longer than a few inches you want a longer 1/2-13 rod or a coupling nut and a second length.
2) Does the Metallics TRS125ISS come with nuts and washers?
No. The TRS125ISS is the rod only, one piece, cut at 5 inches. Order 1/2-13 hex nuts, flat washers, and whatever anchor, beam clamp, or strut nut you are picking up from separately.
3) Is the Metallics TRS125ISS fully threaded end to end?
Yes, it is a threaded rod rather than a partially threaded bolt or stud, so the 1/2-13 thread runs the full 5 inches. That lets you set nut height anywhere along the rod to fine tune a hanger or trapeze level.
4) What is the difference between a 1/2-13 threaded rod and a 1/2-20 rod?
The 13 and 20 are threads per inch. 1/2-13 is the coarse UNC pitch and is what electrical and mechanical hangers, strut hardware, and concrete anchors are normally tapped for. 1/2-20 is the fine UNF pitch and will not thread into 1/2-13 nuts at all. The Metallics TRS125ISS is 1/2-13, so pair it only with coarse thread nuts and fittings.
5) Can I cut this 1/2-13 rod down on site?
A 1/2-13 rod cuts cleanly with a bandsaw, chop saw with a metal blade, or bolt cutter style rod cutter. Run a nut on past the cut line before you cut and back it off afterward to chase the damaged thread. The TRS125ISS already arrives at 5 inches, so most jobs use it as supplied.
6) How do I order the right quantity of the Metallics TRS125ISS for a job?
Pricing and packaging are per piece on the TRS125ISS, so the quantity you enter is the number of individual 5 inch rods you get. Count one rod per hanger point and add spares for threads damaged during install.
